Gripe started out as a 3 piece hardcore band heavily influenced by grindcore, powerviolence, and only the fastest 80's hardcore acts such as Deep Wound, Siege, Void, etc.They have now added a bassist and a new singer and forged ahead with a genre defying hate ridden take on grind and powerviolence. They originally formed in late 2010 in Athens, GA, in stark contrast to the happy go lucky pop friendly scene at the time. Gripe play a very heavy, dark, and discordant take on hardcore.
